    Worked long and hard this weekend with the transbrake issue and found once I got into the wiring it was a mess with "scotch locks", butt connectors, twisted wires that were bare, and none of the wires in a given circuit were the same color...................some went from white to black to yellow.....................a mess. I also ditched all of the hidous convoluted tubing.....................I hate convoluted tubing!
    Everthing is working great. Also installed my updated harness and window net that I was going to do at the track last weekend but didn't.....ready to go.
    Now I just need to change the fuel cell.................I changed both fuel filters (one between the cell and pump and one just before the carb) and they had pieces of old foam in them................I am trashing this plastic cell and going with an aluminum cell.
    Sould be ready for the first race in April........................hopefully!
